Update From Burbank Housing

The Burbank design team is focused on assessing the current condition of the community and identifying systems that require attention/improvement. These findings are being supplemented by resident input at in-person community meetings as well as via a resident survey.

On 7/27, Burbank hosted a second community meeting focused on soliciting input from residents on repairs and improvements needed to individual units and buildings. While attendance was down from the 1st community meeting, the smaller group provided more in-depth conversations about individual needs and concerns. 

A resident survey, also designed to assess the current condition of buildings and units, is also in circulation, with approximately 100 residents responding as of 8/13.

While Burbank’s process will focus on assessing the current condition of GGV to identify systems that require attention or improvement through the reconstruction of the property, MHA will also utilize any information received to understand any maintenance needs that require more immediate resolution in the near and interim term, prior to construction beginning.

To supplement this information and help ensure safe and healthy buildings, physical testing of the buildings and apartments is being conducted. This testing will help inform the extent of the work to be completed as part of the overall renovation of the property. The buildings and apartments to be tested have been randomly chosen by the professionals conducting the tests.

If issues requiring immediate attention are identified, these will be addressed by MHA now. 

2 types of testing will be completed:

• a radon test to determine if there are levels of radon in apartments and
• a building materials test to determine if any lead, asbestos or mold are present, or if there is any evidence of water intrusion. More information regarding these tests has been sent directly to residents via mail.

If you have questions regarding the testing please reach out to: EA@MARINHOUSING.ORG.
